Fairytale Castle Weddings in West Sussex

Castle weddings may sound like a fairytale, but many of the historic landmarks throughout England open their doors to couples to celebrate their love. West Sussex has some gorgeous castle venues, but before you make the plunge, there are a few things to consider.

How Do You Decorate a Castle Wedding?

Castles are the perfect opportunity to embrace classic and vintage-inspired design. As you explore tableware, floral design, and decor, try to keep everything cohesive and pass on more modern pieces. This also extends to other planning elements, such as your wedding attire, dinner menu, and music. You'll also need to be mindful of the treasured items at these venues, including paintings and tapestries. Extra care should be taken, and these items can actually add to the character of your event.

Can You Have a Small Wedding at a Castle?

If you're hoping for an intimate castle wedding, check to see if each venue allows private bookings instead of exclusive use of the grounds. If they have smaller event spaces, such as private dining rooms, you'll still have the privacy you need while remaining on budget.
